With both of us getting older, and developing shaky hands, it's always better to support the dolls while they are standing or leaning on something. Like the railing of the new observation deck railings at the Peggy's Cove lighthouse.
Just a few Behind the Scene photos from our Maritime Adventure. With both of us getting older, and developing shaky hands, it's always better to support the dolls while they are standing or leaning on something. Like the railing of the new observation deck railings at the Peggy's Cove lighthouse. Then the dolls are standing straight, and the right height to each other... I really wanted to take some photos in the little park in the St. Lawrence at St. Roche-des-Aulnais. But it was raining. So I set up the scene inside on the RV table, so I'd know exactly how I wanted the scene set up as soon as it stopped raining outside... I was working on a salad for our own dinner while we waited... Then when it stopped raining we quickly took everything outside and I set it all up again on the picnic table and I took the photos... I had to work fast since the next thunderstorm was already rumbling in the distance, heading our way. It was already starting to rain again as Jan gathered up the last doll and props.

We've been on a lot of trips even before I started taking doll photos, and I've taken scenery photos everywhere, so I do plan in advance where I'd like to take photos, and where something might be possible. Like that picnic overlook in the St. Lawrence River. I take doll photos there every time we go by, because I love the setting, and I know there's picnic tables. In fact one of the things I also have to keep in mind is the position of the sun. I was actually lucky it was so overcast that late in the day, because that made for great lighting. If the sky had been clear and the sun out, the dolls would have just been dark silhouettes into the sun.

Your behind-the-scenes photos are always a treat. They're lessons in doll photography for all of us. Thank you for the effort you put into each photo and each post! ❤️ Comments are closed.
